I’ve been telling everyone about my very own aquaponics setup in the backyard and thought I’d share it with you. It has been up and running since Christmas 2011 and so it’s 1 year old now. Of course a purist aquaculturist would never deviate from circular tanks, but this seems to be adequate for my needs and I managed to pick up these caged tanks at a good price. One thing to be careful is that you should know what these tanks contained previously and to make sure it’s safe for the fish and safe for you. My tanks were purchased locally and they have only had animal feed material in it.
It took a couple of weeks of designing and sourcing the materials, half a day to piece together and got moderately sunburnt. Then some slight modifications along the way, with the latest addition being the automatic water top ups. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed experimenting and putting this video together.
